This paper describes automatic techniques for mapping 9611 entries in a database of English verbs to WordNet senses. The verbs were initially grouped into 491 classes based on syntactic categories. Mapping these classiied verbs into WordNet senses provides a resource that may be used for disambiguation in multilingual applications such as machine translation and cross-language information retri...

This work tries to enrich the Spanish Wordnet using a Spanish taxonomy as a knowledge source. The Spanish taxonomy is composed by Spanish senses, while Wordnet is composed by synsets (English senses). A set of weighted associations between Spanish words and Wordnet synsets is used for inferring associations between both taxonomies.

This paper describes the new Spanish Wordnet aligned to Princeton WordNet1.6 and the analysis of the transformation from the previous version aligned to Princeton WordNet1.5. Although a mapping technology exists, to our knowledge it is the first time a whole local wordnet has been ported to a newer release of the Princeton WordNet.

This paper presents the automatic construction of a Korean WordNet from pre-existing lexical resources. A set of automatic WSD techniques is described for linking Korean words collected from a bilingual MRD to English WordNet synsets. We will show how individual linking provided by each WSD method is then combined to produce a Korean WordNet for nouns.

The work described in this paper was originally motivated by the need to map verbs associated with FrameNet 1.2 frames to appropriate WordNet 2.0 senses. As the work evolved, it became apparent that the developed method was applicable for a number of other tasks, including assignment of WordNet senses to word lists used in attitude and opinion analysis, and collapsing WordNet senses into coarse...

OBJECTIVES While several sources of biomedical knowledge are available, these resources are often highly specialized and usually not suitable for a lay audience. This paper evaluates whether concepts needed for molecular biology and genetic diseases are present in WordNet, the electronic lexical database. METHODS Terms for four broad categories of concepts (phenotype, molecular function, biol...

WordNet [4] is the lexical database for English language. A synset is a WordNet structure for storing senses of the words. Synset contains a set of synonym words and their brief description called gloss. For example, well, wellspring and fountainhead have the same meaning according to WordNet, so these three words are grouped in to one synset which is explained by a gloss "an abundant source". ...
